I'm currently in the process of building up my 2012 5 Spot, and am just hoping this RFX is eventually released. I won't go into detail, but the RFX looks like everything I want the 5 Spot to be, with a lower leverage ratio, ability to take longer forks without warranty (and other) issues (meaning coil fork selection becomes MUCH easier), and should have the optimal travel for a one-bike quiver.

Oh yes, I will thoroughly enjoy what I already have, but if Turner doesn't release this just because it so closely rivals the Pivot bike, it'll be a shame. Pivots seem to have some reported issues, and the Turner frames just do it for me way more than any others I've tried thus far.

I won't necessarily be waiting, as I'll be excitedly riding my 5 Spot constantly, but I'll certainly be hoping I have a reason to at least consider selling my 5 Spot frame, in the next few years.

Yep, this bike was amazing and I think that DT made a mistake not releasing it, even if it was very expensive or whatever... 50% of the 5-spot owners are using 160mm forks and I'm prettry sure that most of them would be happier with the RFX.

Right now I think it's not going to be released anymore, the 5-spot will probably get a little bit more of travel and that's it.

The only hope that I have is that next year Turner is going to have it's 20th Anniversary and sometimes bike companies do a special run of bikes for that. It would be really really cool if DT released a Limited run of RFX, charge whatever he need to don't loose money and never build it anymore. That would be legendary.

If DT released the RFX next year, I'd have to find a way to buy a frame and transfer my parts. I also think he made a mistake not releasing this bike, as most 5 Spot riders really want the RFX. I'll be more than happy with my Spot build, but will always really want that RFX, haha.

Most other 160mm bikes just don't do it for me (proprietary parts, need propedal, link issues, the Mojo HD's regressive curve at end of stroke, etc). If the RFX doesn't come out, I'm gonna stick with the Spot. If the RFX does come out, that will be beyond awesome.
